Breaking Mind-Forged Manacles
is an Assassin's Creed Syndicate fanfic written by estel-of-the-eyrie
When Louise, an archaeology student at UCL, took up that internship with Abstergo, she never anticipated being launched into a world of conspiracies and survival she was not prepared for.
Breaking Mind-Forged Manacles provides examples of:
- Anachronistic Clue: Evie spots the thread when Louise name-drops the Olympics as if it were a modern event.
- Badass Bookworm: As well as Evie from the original game, Louise was smart enough to get into Oxford University and leads the Clinkers for over a year before the Twins arrive.
- Cane Sword: Percival Starrick has an ornate one.
- It Always Rains at Funerals: the Clinker funeral Louise organises is held in the middle of a thunderstorm.
- Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: The London Templars are known by aliases based on Greek and Roman mythology, with each name relating to the branch of society they influence.
- Shout-Out:
- Wren, Louise's alias among the Clinkers/Rooks, is a shortened version of Renfri
- Several to Critical Role:
- The stuffed bear in Henry's Curio Shop is called Trinket.
- Louise's blue Assassin coat is based off the Kit Buss artwork of Cassandra de Rolo's.
